One of the little tasks I want to complete while on my mini vacation is organizing my online life a bit…grouping blogs together in my reader, starting some twitter lists, making sense of some pinterest boards that are now over three years old, etc. As I’m separating out my style board into seasons (OCD much? yeah, you’ve done it too) I’m becoming more and more excited for spring. Brighter colors, no more coats, fresh air, lighter layers. I’m so ready. Spring it on.

It’s only Wednesday and it’s beyond freezing outside. I’d rather cozy up with these painted gold details. Remember this for the next party I plan: match your thank you notes to your cake. Especially if they’re both gold and stunning.

I’ve been thinking of other kinds of winter layers recently. Ones that involve a lot of chocolate, caramelized onions on everything, warm neutrals, cozy stripes, more chocolate. Yeah, I like these things very much.
